(Revisiting this topic with the release of the Kindle DX) Having owned both generation Kindle readers and now getting a Kindle DX; I'm very excited for true PDF handling on an e-ink device! An image of _Why's book on my Kindle (from my iPhone). This gives me a device capable of storing hundreds of thousands of pages that are full text...
I've looked for references on the Audible format, and it appears that people are only interested in cracking/converting out of it. I've got a collection of MP3 files that I want to convert into Audible format for use on my Kindle and iPod. Does anybody have a good reference on the Audible or protected AAC formats and how section marker...
The Kindle has lit a personal interest in reading my various content on it, but generally I've been unsatisfied with the conversion tools available and the lack of cohesive documentation on the formats. My question ... Do you know of any resources, tools, and/or projects for generating AZW files? I've come across a fair amount of info...
I love stackoverflow and I love my new Kindle and I'm looking to bridge the gap. Anybody devised a clever way to do this? Disclaimer: Yes i know this is not technically a programming question but theres always so many things on here I want to read but want to do it out by the pool and not at my desk :-) ...
I want to be able to play works of interactive fiction on an Amazon Kindle 2. In order to do this, I would need to port the Frotz interpreter to the Kindle. So far, I have not been able to find anywhere that Kindle application development is discussed. Does such a thing exist? Where can I find more information? ...
Programming Clojure is currently available only in electronic form. I see it's available in .mobi format for the Kindle. My question is, how well does this work? I know some programming books can lose the formatting of the code on the Kindle. Has anyone tried this? Does this version work well? ...
I am on MAC OS X 10.5.5. I installed Calibre, a tool for converting e-book files from one format to another. It has a GUI as well as command line tools. I am trying to run the command line tool "any2mobi" to convert HTML files to MOBI pocket format or Kindle AZW format, with a TOC. I get the error "-bash: any2mobi: command not found". C...
Is it possible to copy MOBI files onto an iPod touch? Can such files be read by the Kindle reader App? I am reformatting a friend's novel so that it is readable on a Kindle. The ultimate goal is to sell it via the Amazon Kindle store. However, I think it prudent for the author to have a chance to preview my conversion work so that she ...
Now that the Amazon Kindle is available internationally, I'm considering getting one. There are plenty of reviews around the net, but what I want to ask here is whether this device is are suitable for reading programming reference books. I'd really appreciate the thoughts of anyone with experience of it. Is the amount of text that ca...
I am curious as to how people make reading material for Kindle. Does it require programming knowledge? I would think maybe HTML or XML or something? Is there a software to handle everything? If I wanted to make a magazine for people to read with their Kindles, what might be the steps for me to take to reach that goal? ...
Does anyone know what language/platform the new Kindle SDK will support? ...
I'm not having an easy time making a workable mouse pointer interface on the Kindle with Qt (unofficial, of course). The fiveway joystick can't track more than one direction at a time (no diagonal moves), and the screen is too slow to update for good feedback. I've got limited acceleration, but with the screen delay it's very frustrati...
I'm trying to find a solution that offers either a Java api for writing .mobi files for sending to a Kindle, or something that's scriptable given a Linux environment. I have text data in a MySQL database that I want to offer as Kindle-friendly content. I'd like to hear what tools people have used for this that work reasonably well. ...
I'm using the Kindle as an example of an embedded system to illustrate some points I'm making in a paper. Since I'm not an expert in all the technologies used, can those aware of them point them out. For example: the GUI is programmed in embedded Java (which is probably a bad choice) Whispernet is used for the wireless platform Wh...
I'm a programmer. I want to be a better programmer. I want to read more source code written by other people (especially open source projects). Also, I'd like to be able to have a on-hand searchable reference to all of that source code so that I can pull up reference to structures and snippets. Does anyone know of a way to use the Kin...
I'm just getting into kindle development, and I want to know if it is possible to turn off kindle's sleep mode? Or is there a way to wake it up (or a way to program it to wake up) by pushing the buttons on the front, rather than using the power button? Not looking for anything to in-depth here, just point me in the right direction or le...
Amazon has the button that opens an app as follows. Clicking this button opens a 'Amazon Kindle', for my case, 'Amazon Kindle for Mac'. How is this possible? I mean, how can I program to do this job? It's definitely not Flash. I tried to use button to open an App using button provided by HTML, but I couldn't make it because of the s...
I have created a book that each page is a JPG picture (believe me, this is how the book is intended to be). This book is intended to be read in landscape. This will be a kindle book, intended to be read on all kindle platorms (kindle 1, kindle 2, iphone, ipad, mac, windows and android). I don't have a kindle yet, but I have kindle app ...
It seems like the new "experimental" web browser in the Kindle is fairly limited in capabilities. Styling of even the included bookmarks looks a bit rough. In one video, the person mentions JavaScript being enabled in "advanced" mode but there was no demonstration of what that means. As of writing this, the product page only offers a qui...
I use my kindle to store large numbers of articles for research purposes. I would really like to have a operating system that can navigate to documents in different directories instead of “collections”. I can create directories on the Kindle, but in the main view these are all invisible, so I have to assign my documents to the collectio...
